windriver's challenge

I will start the ball rolling. Could it be a Bristol-Prier Monoplane circa 1911?

I am certain it is a monoplane so my next try is it is perhaps a Blackburn Single seat Monoplane.

Sorry seacue... I can see the resemblance, but

MReyn24050's Blackburn Monoplane gets it...

Time for a WAG. Armstrong-Whitworth Apollo.

I want to say Avro Ashton, but we've already had that!

Mel did say at the time that he had the 'inside' of an Ashton, and looking at the framework, you could be right.

Tiger mate, yes it's the framing that got me and not enough levers for a piston a/c. Is your nom de plume DH82a related or some other tiger?

asw28-866 has it. It is the Avro Ashton Mk1 and the instrument panel of WB490. Tiger_mate published the outside of the cockpit a few weeks ago.

You have control asw28-866.

ASW Said:

The sort that has rather large teeth and meets up at a NATO base once or twice a year.
